That dynamic, known as cash sorting, had already been going on for several months, and appeared to be stabilizing. If anything, I think the events of the last few days could reduce it somewhat. Better to have your funds safe earning little

Brokered CDs are a good way to go and not mentioned in the article. They avoid the hassle of opening and managing multiple bank accounts with multiple banks. They're offered by many brokerages - I use them via Schwab.

> When someone deposits $1m at a bank, the bank doesn't have $1m more assets, it has $1m more liabilities. Not quite. It actually has both. Yes, it owes $1m to the depositor, but it also has $1m in cash now, at least for a while. U

So I had a question about how all this works under the hood. The GPT model is trained (on a massive dataset) and then deployed. How are they getting the additional product data from other sources like Instacart's retail partner locatio

Sounds pretty extreme. Telling anyone about a product you've built is really a form of advertising. I don't see how society advances if your viewpoint were to be implemented and taken to its rational conclusion.

Are we doing ad hominem attacks now? Perhaps we can start from the points I'm making and assess them on their own merits instead?

I'm not sure what particular interests you have in mind, but if I visit a site I don't have to pay for, subsidized by advertising, and that shows me content and ads relevant and tailored to my interests, I consider my own interest

Actually I do get a say... take the Twitter example. In that case it's resulted in me visiting Twitter far less than I used to. I may not be voting with my dollars as a user here, but I am voting with my attention span. Dollars are not

I find it strange that AI/ML people would avoid "adtech for ethical reasons". I really wish the websites I visited made better use of my actual history on those sites to tailor relevant ads to my interests. It seems like an i

The TSMC move was notable because they ditched most of their holdings. One theory is that they did so because of concern over geopolitical risk, given TSMC's primary location. However that was arguably present to the same extent or mor

What seems to be tripping it up here is the concept that names are not usually unique... there are usually many people with the same name. It has no understanding of that, even though their biographies (which it cited) indicate vastly diffe

It would certainly not be fun if these conversations we're hearing about are real. I would not want to be anywhere near robots which decide it's acceptable to harm you if you argue with them.

Indeed, one might conclude that predicting what to do in the next moment (analogous to what to write next in the case of ChatGPT, which can only write) is all we do as humans. At every moment of the day, we are taking all our past experienc
